RE: Re: was weather, now fall color


I'm jealous of these reports of good fall color - foliage in our area
has been mundane at best.  My Japanese maples have not all begun to
really turn yet, so perhaps there is hope with those trees.

Have yet to figure out the mysteries of fall leaf coloration. Don't 
really think it is a maturity driven phenomenon though. I have a red 
maple hybrid that has yet to show much color other than yellow, and my 
next door neighbor has a sugar maple that only sporadically gets really 
vibrant. Now when we move away from the genus Acer, I have some lovely 
coloration: Nyssa sylvatica, Cotinus obovatus, Rhus aromatica have been 
standouts this year.
